Over 30 years of retirement, Ahrndt would collect as much as $2.29 million, according to a projection by Local Government Information Services (LGIS), which publishes North Cook News.
The projection assumes Ahrndt received $48,235 in the first year of retirement, then 3 percent annual increases thereafter, compounded.
After 3 years of retirement, Ahrndt will have already received $149,089 in retirement benefits, or more than the sum total of the retiree's contributions to the state pension fund.
